The Sparkling Water Method

This particular bean is decaffeinated using the ‘Sparkling Water’ process, a method using water and carbon dioxide. These combine – creating the carbonated water from which this method process gets its name – to extract the caffeine whilst leaving the chemical makeup of the bean virtually untouched, a method that preserves as much of the original flavour as possible. Whilst this method is expensive, it has the added advantage of creating only natural by-products; with the carbon dioxide recycled and caffeine sold on for use elsewhere. Because of this, our decaf is easily able to hold its own when compared to our other caffeinated blends.
